ADEN - SABA
Yemen's Information Minister said that as civilians infected with covid-19 keep collapsing in the streets of Sana'a, the Houthi militia controlling the city "keep the public opinion in the dark about it."

In a statement to Saba, Muammar al-Eryani warned of a health disaster from the novel coronavirus in light of the rampant malnutrition and low level of health care services.

"The militia are keep the lid on the real figures about fatalities and infections and are not serious in implementing the precautionary measures of offering healthcare to the infected."

He said the militia are rather trying to fish in the troubled waters and exploit the donor organizations financially. He also called on the international community to intervene urgently and force the militia to be transparent about the issue and allow for medical care to be provided to the infected.
